Today I’m happy to be featuring Bittersweet Magic by Nina Croft! This followup to Bittersweet Blood is sure to please, but don’t worry, it can easily be read as stand alone. Nina Croft’s stories are Out of This World, so you won’t want to miss this one!

Roz has been indebted to the demon Asmodai for five hundred years, and her freedom is just around the corner. All she has to do is complete one last task for him—obtain a key that had been hidden in a church centuries ago.

Piers, the Head of the Order and an ancient vampire, is intrigued by the woman who comes to him for help. She’s beautiful and seemingly kind, but she’s hiding something. And he’ll find out who she is and what she really wants once he uses his power to get inside her head. But Piers has no idea that Roz is immune to his mind-control…or that he is simply a pawn in her dangerous mission for freedom.

Nina Croft grew up in the north of England. After training as an accountant, she spent four years working as a volunteer in Zambia, which left her with a love of the sun and a dislike of nine-to-five work. She then spent a number of years mixing travel (whenever possible) with work (whenever necessary) but has now settled down to a life of writing and picking almonds on a remote farm in the mountains of southern Spain.

Nina’s writing mixes romance with elements of paranormal and science fiction.

The Fever Series & The Highlander Series by Karen Marie Moning

20131109-144724.jpg

 

THE FEVER SERIES BY KAREN MARIE MONING

This is one of my favorite series and I recommend grabbing the box set if you haven’t read the series because you’re going to want to read them back to back. You’ll fall in love with Barrons! Now for those that love hot paranormal series you’ll love this one, but I’d also recommend it for people who normally wouldn’t pick up a paranormal. I got my mother to read this series and she isn’t much of a romance or paranormal lover yet she was completely captivated by this story because it’s just such a unique plot that completely transports the reader into another world. It captures and holds your attention throughout the entire series. Love it! /Cori

✦BOOK DESCRIPTIONS

In the blockbuster Fever series, Karen Marie Moning creates a darkly erotic and paranormal world, torn apart by the struggle between humans and Fae. Now in a convenient eBook bundle, here are the five thrillingly sexy novels featuring heroine MacKayla Lane: Darkfever, Bloodfever, Faefever, Dreamfever, and Shadowfever.

✦DARKFEVER
When her sister is murdered, MacKayla Lane journeys to Ireland in search of answers. There, she makes a startling discovery: She’s a sidhe-seer, which gives her the rare power to glimpse beyond the realm of Man, and into the dangerous realm of the Fae. As the boundary between the worlds begins to crumble, Mac becomes a target. But her mission is clear: Find the Sinsar Dubh, an ancient book that contains the key to controlling mortals and Fae alike, before the enemy seizes it.

✦BLOODFEVER
In her fight to stay alive, Mac must hunt the Sinsar Dubh—a book of the blackest magic imaginable. Pursued by assassins and surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she cannot trust, Mac finds herself torn between two powerful men: V’lane, the ancient, immortal Fae Prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man as seductive as he is dangerous.

✦FAEFEVER
When Mac receives a page torn from her sister’s journal, she is stunned by its desperate contents. Now that Mac knows her sister’s killer is close, she’s on the hunt for revenge. Forced into a precarious alliance with V’lane, the lethal Fae prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man of deadly secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.

✦DREAMFEVER
When the walls between Man and Fae come crashing down, Mac is caught in a lethal trap. Captured by the Fae Lord Master, she is left with no memory of who or what she is: the only sidhe-seer alive who can track the Sinsar Dubh. Clawing her way back from oblivion is only the first step Mac must take down a perilous path, from the battle-filled streets of Dublin into the realm of the Fae, where nothing is as it seems.

✦SHADOWFEVER
In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac, and begins to mow a deadly path through those she loves. Who can she trust? But more important, who is Mac? Does an ancient prophecy reveal her destiny? Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.

 

✦FAVORITE QUOTES✦

“One day you do meet a man who kisses you and you can’t breathe around it and you realize you don’t need air. Oxygen is trivial. Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset. To touch the one you love. To try again.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“He pulls me around and kisses me. “You’re Mac,” he says. “And I’m Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?”
I do.
Jericho Barrons just told me he loves me.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were trouble.”
“Ditto.”
“I wanted to drag you between the shelves, fuck you senseless, and send you home.”
“If you’d done that, I never would have left.”
“You’re still here anyway.”
“You don’t have to sound so sour about it.”
“You’re upsetting my entire existence.”
“Fine, I’ll leave.”
“Try and I’ll chain you up.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“Just one time… When you know who I am. Let me be your man.”
― Jericho Barrons

“Unpredictable as a hungry lion, he might be feared by everyone else, but he never ripped out my throat, only licked me, and, if his tongue was a little rough sometimes, it was worth it to walk beside the king of the jungle.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“Jericho Barrons was my poison now.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Dreamfever

“I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there’s a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style,park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

“There are two kinds of people in the world Ms. Lane: those who survive no matter the cost and those who are walking victims.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

“She understood now why her friend Elizabeth, with her near-genius, analytical mind gave wide berth to murder mysteries, psychological thrillers, and horror stories, and read only romance novels. Because, by God, when a woman picked up one of those steamy books, she had a firm guarantee that there would be a Happily-Ever-After. That though the world outside those covers could bring such sorrow and disappointment and loneliness, between those covers, the world was a splendid place to be.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

“You want to believe in black and white, good and evil, heroes that are truly heroic, villains that are just plain bad, but I’ve learned in the past year that things are rarely so simple. The good guys can do some truly awful things, and the bad guys can sometimes surprise the heck out of you.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

*************

 

THE HIGHLANDER SERIES BY KAREN MARIE MONING

Karen Marie Moning’s Highlander Series goes with the Fever Series. Some of the Highlander Series characters are in the Fever series so I would recommend reading The Highlander books first. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them in order. Each book in this series is a love story about a different couple and has a HEA ending. The Fever Series is one continuous story with no ending yet.

HOW TO BORROW EBOOKS FROM A PUBLIC LIBRARY

I got this info from Amazon. Most libraries now offer ebooks. You have to have a library card to your local library and once they set you up with a pin you can check out ebooks online. I use both the county library and the city library to check out ebooks. If you have questions most librarians are really helpful and can walk you through it.

This information is copy and pasted from Amazon:

Borrow Books from a Public Library
More than 11,000 libraries in the United States offer Public Library Books for Kindle. You can check out eBooks through the website of your local library and have them sent directly to your Kindle device or reading app.

Kindle books that you borrow from a public library are available to you for a specific period of time, just like with library books. Public library books for Kindle are available at libraries throughout the United States. These books are offered through a digital service called OverDrive.

Note: Public Library books for Kindle are available in the .azw Kindle Edition format only.

✦Check Out a Public Library Book
• You can read borrowed Kindle books on any generation Kindle device, all free Kindle apps, as well as in your web browser with Kindle Cloud Reader.
• Confirm whether your branch is eligible and carries Kindle eBooks, visit Overdrive or the website of your local library.
• Get a library card and a PIN from your local library.
Note: At this time, public library books for Kindle are only available at U.S. libraries.

✦Restrictions:
• Availability of books and length of loan will vary by library.
• Public library books require an active Wi-Fi connection for delivering books to a Kindle device. Library books can not be delivered via your Kindle’s 3G connection.
• Due to publisher restrictions, some titles may not be wirelessly delivered and require USB transfer from your computer to your device. These restricted titles also may not be accessed on Kindle reading applications.
• Go to the website of your local public library and search for eBooks.
• At checkout, sign in to your Amazon account, and select the device or reading app to send the book to.
• Connect your Kindle to Wi-Fi. If Whispersync is enabled, your Kindle should receive the book automatically.
• If your Kindle does not receive the book, sync your device manually.

✦Return a Library Book
• To return a library book before the loan period ends, visit Manage Your Kindle.
Since the length of a book loan is determined by the library, check with your public library to find out when to return a borrowed book. You’ll receive a courtesy reminder e-mail from us three days before the book is due and another email when the loan period has ended.
• Visit Manage Your Kindle.
• Next to the book that you want to return, click Actions, and then select Return This Book.
You will no longer have access to the book from your Kindle. However, you can always access your saved notes and highlights through Manage Your Kindle even after the book has expired. If you check out the book again, or purchase it from Amazon, your notes and highlights will appear in the book.

Review: RACE TO KILL (A Love and Scandal Novel #1) by Rachel Kall

RACE TO KILL (A Love and Scandal Novel #1) by Rachel Kall
Publication Date: October 2, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Donna
Rated: 4.5 Stars

20131107-075300.jpg

DESCRIPTION:
When fiercely independent Vivian Reese is thrust onto the national stage during a heated presidential campaign, she doesn’t expect to become a media darling. She also doesn’t expect to start to fall for her sexy new bodyguard, Marcus Locke. But when threats start surfacing against the sitting President’s campaign and all evidence points to Vivian, she doesn’t know who to trust. Delta Force Operator turned FBI agent Marcus Locke is supposed to be investigating campaign finance crimes. He’s not supposed to be checking out the sexy, eloquent campaign spokeswoman Vivian Reese, who’s one of his prime suspects! But when they are caught in the middle of a presidential race that is quickly turning deadly, he is forced to put both his heart and his job in the line of fire. Tempers flare and passions ignite as the campaign gets dangerous, but when bullets start to fly will either of them survive?

REVIEW:
This is my first time reading a novel by this new author and I was very pleased. I love special ops books and this hit all the marks. I grew to like Marc and Viv and their hot romance built nicely while the danger and mystery surrounded them. I was also glad that she didn’t get bogged down in politics and kept it about the characters. It is fast paced, full of intrigue and kept me guessing as I quickly turned the pages. I look forward to reading more from Rachel Kall and hope there is a book in the future for a certain Navy SEAL.

Review: All Fired Up by Kate Meader

All Fired Up by Kate Meader
Publication Date: November 5, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 4 Stars

20131112-193118.jpg

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Her sweetest mistake . . .

Cool as a Chicago winter, private events planner Cara DeLuca is a model of self-control . . . until she meets the one temptation she can’t resist: Shane Doyle. The sexy, Irish pastry chef is too hot, too sure, too young, and after a crazy night in Vegas – her new husband. While at first Cara wants nothing more than a way out of her sham marriage to Shane, she soon finds that beneath his farm boy demeanor lies a man who can match her drive, both in and out of the bedroom. How can the wrong guy feel so deliciously right?

. . . Tastes so, so good

Shane has carefully structured his career and life around one goal: connecting with the family that doesn’t know he exists. Marrying a woman with more issues than a magazine stand wasn’t part of the plan, but melting Cara’s icy exterior is so worth the detour. Now as the annulment date nears and long-buried secrets are revealed, Shane will have to fight for the one thing guaranteeing the perfect life he craves . . . the current Mrs. Shane Doyle.

REVIEW:

I had never read any of Kate Meaders books, but it looked interesting so I thought i’d give it a try. All Fired Up is a fantastic story. I loved learning about each of the characters. Shane and Lili started out married in Vegas within hours of meeting. The morning after when they realized what they had done, set the pace for the rest of the book. Watching them getting to know each other while waiting for the annulment process to be complete was emotional. Lili is independent and wanted everyone to think she was strong. Shane wanted to be part of a family. Together they burned up the pages. This is a great read and I will definitely read more of her books.

Review: Jagged (Colorado Mountain) by Kristen Ashley

Jagged (Colorado Mountain) by Kristen Ashley
Publication Date: November 5, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Cori
Rated 4.5 Stars

20131109-124702.jpg

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

The next novel in Kristen Ashley’s sizzling Colorado Mountain series introduces a new electrifying relationship that turns Carnal, Colorado into a hotbed of action, romance, and suspense.

An old flame rekindled . . .

Zara Cinders always knew Ham Reece was the one, but he wasn’t interested in settling down. When she found someone who was, Ham walked out of her life. Three years later, Zara’s lost her business, her marriage, and she’s barely getting by in a tiny apartment on the wrong side of the tracks. As soon as Ham hears about Zara’s plight, he’s on her doorstep offering her a lifeline. Now, it will take every ounce of will power she possesses to resist all that he offers.

Ham was always a traveling man, never one to settle down in one town, with one woman, for more time than absolutely necessary. But Ham’s faced his own demons, and he’s learned a lot. About himself, and about the life he knows he’s meant to live. So when he hears that Zara’s having a rough time, he wants to be the one to help. In fact, he wants to do more than that for Zara. A lot more. But first, he must prove to Zara that he’s a changed man.

REVIEW:

I loved Jagged! Everyone has heard me talk about how obsessed I am with all of Kristen Ashley’s books and this one was no exception. Jagged is Zara and Ham Reece’s story. Reece has always been the one for Zara and when they were together the first time he wasn’t ready to settle down in one place with one woman. Zara ends things and settles for a man that isn’t the one and when that ends she reconnects with Ham after seeing him on the news. She’s never forgotten him and he has regretted walking away. Now he has to prove to her that he’s changed, ready to stay in one place and make a life with her. I loved the characters and the story. I highly recommend any of Kristen Ashley’s books! She writes great emotional romances with hot alpha heroes.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

‘Tis the season to fall in love in these four small towns.

In “Christmas in Shelter Bay,” New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross returns to Shelter Bay, where Kelli has long tried to keep her feelings for her friend Cole a secret. But when the local matchmakers conspire to send them to a secluded lakeside cabin, the two friends soon discover that a little love will keep them warm.

TV producer Nathaniel Ravelle knows the Bayberry Island mermaid legend is a joke— how could a statue grant a wish for true love? But when a Christmas Nor’easter lands him in close quarters with local Annie Parker, they see magic at work in matters of the heart in New York Times bestselling author Susan Donovan’s “A Seaside Christmas.”

In LuAnn McLane’s “Mistletoe on Main Street,” Clint isn’t sure how to rekindle his romance with high school sweetheart Ava—until his father bows out of playing Santa at the annual Cricket Creek holiday parade and Clint gets the chance to make this Christmas one to remember.

And in Alexis Morgan’s “The Christmas Gift”, business is booming at Bridey Roke’s pastry shop. Everyone in town stops in to sample her holiday treats. But in her spare moments, she’s perfecting a special recipe to charm the handsome new neighbor—who has his own surprise gift for her come Christmas Eve!

REVIEWS:

✦Christmas in Shelter Bay by JoAnn Ross
A sweet little love story full of family and friends. It was so realistically written that I felt I already knew everyone in town, and like them, was happy with the warm romance just waiting to happen.

✦A Seaside Christmas by Susan Donovan
The first few pages had me chuckling and the smile stayed in place for the rest of the story. The author has a witty way of telling a story that could easily have gone “campy”. It was funny, sexy and very heartwarming. I am still smiling over the back story.

✦Mistletoe on Main Street by LuAnn McLane
This was a cute story of second chances. The romance was light and would appeal to those who like a tamer love story. It was a nice “happily ever after” and the author had a nice easy style that was fun to read.

✦The Christmas Gift by Alexis Morgan
I enjoyed this short story where Bridey helps Seth overcome his insecurities without even trying. That made this a warm lovely story with just the right touch of drama to spice things up.

Overall, these stories were heartwarming and fun to read. The small town closeness was well portrayed so that I felt a part of it all.
